It rained a lot in other areas overnight, although not as much as in Jeju.
In particular, winter festival sites in the Gangwon region went into temporary closure, saying there were safety concerns due to melting ice.

The ice field, which would have been crowded with tourists who dreamed of becoming Kang Tae-gong in winter, was empty.
As concerns about safety accidents grew due to heavy rain that poured more than 20mm overnight, the outdoor experience center related to ice fishing was closed.
Hongcheon-gun and the festival committee, which had prepared for the summit in three years, also took an emergency.
Tourists who visited the festival are being guided to the indoor fishing spot as soon as possible, but it is a pity for the visitors who have come from a long distance and the military who prepared for the festival.

Hongcheon-gun plans to take all measures to prevent safety accidents and prepare for reopening as soon as the rain stops.
The Hwacheon Sancheoneo Ice Festival is also temporarily closed.
The 100m large snow sculpture is covered with vinyl as soon as possible, and all county office staff are on standby to maintain the festival grounds.
First of all, tickets due to the suspension of operation are fully refunded without fees, and we have asked local accommodations to make sure there are no penalties for canceling reservations.
The Pyeongchang Trout Festival, which started the first festival, also stopped its main event, ice fishing.
The Winter Festival in Gangwon-do, which has been looking forward to a special event for the first time in 3 years, is having a gloomy weekend due to the untimely winter rain.
